minus-squareGobbel2000@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up34·6 months agoThe premise is already wrong. No orchestra can play Beethoven’s 9th symphony in 40 minutes, this piece is longer than an hour.
minus-squareRBG@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up17·6 months agoMaybe it’s longer than an hour if only 80 players play it. This is 120!

minus-squaregnutrino@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoSnopes says this is “undetermined” (also that CDs hold 74 minutes). Honesty pleasently surprised by how plausible it is from the given evidence though, I was expecting this to turn out to be definitively a myth.
minus-squareg_the_b@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoYeah, just checked and the Wikipedia says it’s a myth!
